RSS Reading based on Language...

I love the fact that this community has such a broad user base. We have people from all over the world.
One thing that could be considered "bad" about this, is that all of these people also want to post in their own language. Why cant the main feed be more language aware for each item?
Thats the first step. Next we would need to push the tools (sharpreader, etc..) into this language aware world, and allow the end user to do things like "Exclude all languages, except english". "Only allow English and German", etc..
Lets not force the people to publish in the "common" language, but force our tools to be come more intelligent.
Speaking of multiple languages, does anyone know of a free Web Service (yes, thats SOAP) translation service? The one listed on XMethods is dead.
Thanks.

I've just written a simple one that uses Google's translation tools at:

I still have some tweaks I want to make to the service, but my current project is to use some sort of language tag in RSS to translate feeds. More to come. Let me know if you have any issues w/ the service.
